Entity Primary Key #3199

Hi,

We have existing database. Each table has a PrimaryKey column like Below: Table: CusCustomer Field: CustomerKey - long - PrimaryKey

Table: InvProduct Field: ProductKey - long - PrimaryKey.

Now, if a create an entity class and derive it from FullAuditedEntity<Int64>, it will assume that there would be Id field in the table having datatype as long.

How can we create an entity having above table structure?

Regards, Mahendra

    Hi,

    You can map Id field to your CustomerKey or ProductKey in the onModelCreating of your DbContext.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    One more question. How Can I get rid of Identity Column that it creates by default. I want to specify my own value in this field from service. Something like below.

    public async Task CreateTaxCode(CreateTaxCodeInput input)
            {
                long abc = await _iVendRepository.GetNextPrimaryKeyValue();
                input.Id = abc; 
                var TaxCode = input.MapTo<TaxCode>();
                await _TaxCodeRepository.InsertAsync(TaxCode);
            }
    

    Currently, due to Identity column, it discards my value that I set in the Id column.

    Hi,

    You can use something like this:

    modelBuilder.Entity<Entity>().Property(t => t.Id) .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)
